He moved to London in 1970 and opened his first shop in 1973 by buying out an existing shop called Zapata in Chelsea.<br /><br />His shoes, now sold in stores bearing his name around the world, range in price from about $500 to $2500. They often come with stiletto heels, which can reach as high as five and a half inches, and embellishments like beads or ribbons. The television show Sex and the City mentioned his shoes so often that it helped cement his place in pop culture, and he was said to be the "fifth star" of the show after the show's four lead actresses.<br /><br />Once Manolo Blahnik dies, there will be no more Manolos made ever again.<br /><br /><!--Image http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/6/65/Carrie_Manolos.jpg--><a href='http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/6/65/Carrie_Manolos.jpg' target='_blank'><img src='http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/6/65/Carrie_Manolos.jpg' border='0' alt='用户发表的图象' onload='javascript:if(this.width>(screen.width*0.8-400)) this.width=(screen.width*0.8-400)'></a><!--End Image--><br /><br />据说在40步外,人们就可以准确无误地凭优美的弧线认出Manolo Blahnik。而在这个品牌的专卖店里,很难找到鞋跟低于2英寸的鞋子,因此,它的商标就是一只拥有高得不能再高的鞋跟和尖得不能再尖的鞋头的皮鞋。 <br /><br />这些起始价格为500美金的细高跟鞋,有个别名叫“礼车鞋”(Limousine Shoes)。因为穿上这种鞋,美则美矣,最多只能走半条街,非有礼车跟在左右。但,Manolo Blahnik的高跟鞋,强就强在跟虽高,重心却平稳,据说穿了跳舞脚也不痛,难怪它成为女星们参加地毯秀的首选。 <br /> <br /> 在历届奥斯卡颁奖礼上,如果说阿玛尼是“制服”,那么Manolo Blahnik就如同大会“指定用鞋”。万人迷Brad Pitt与Jennifer Anis-ton的世纪婚礼上,美丽的新娘脚上搭配的便是Manolo Blahnik设计的象牙色鹿皮高跟凉鞋。猫王之女Lisa Marie拥有着50多双Manolo Blahnik鞋,而Sarah Jessica Parker她根本搞不清楚自己有多少双Manolo鞋。 |
